Fields of Grace was established in April 2006 as a ministry at West Side Church in Richland, WA.  The program began when 2nd Harvest Tri-Cities voiced a need for fresh produce for area food banks and area farmers wanted to donate a portion of their crops, but lacked the resources to pick the additional produce.

We provide the hands of service that pick the fruits and vegetables for residents in need. Since its inception, the ministry has trained over 800 volunteers who have logged nearly 6,000 hours of service to harvest nearly 400,000 pounds of produce. This produce has included apples, sweet corn, carrots, sweet cherries, apricots, plums, grapes, prunes, tomatoes, and potatoes. 

Our volunteers attend a training program and sign a liability form before participating in gleaning activities.
